Very few know that the law

while there are others who keep
on violating the law every day, as
you can hear shooting in almost
every direction.
I have long since concluded that
no game law will ever amount to
much until the county game
who will see that every
sportsman fares alike.

Dear I beg to enclose
you tin order properly executed
for the purchase of fifty
Pianos, to be delivered
at Conservatory,

Pianos exclusively, with
the exception of one Concert
Grand which we Lave on hand.
When began to investigate
pianos with a view of taking
out all and putting in an en-
new supply, the
came to my notice. I have
studied pianos closely during
the last ten years and have
purchased ninety instruments
that time. After visiting
the factories in a number of
cities, I inspected your plant
in Baltimore. I felt sure that
no factory in the United States
was better equipped to produce
a strictly high-grade piano
than the factory.
We have had one of your
instruments in the
for one year, and have
tested the tone, quality and
mechanical construction.
thoroughly testing it for
eight or ten hours per day, I
have placed an order for
new Pianos. I find the
of this piano every
way desirable to the artist and
to the student.
While the cost of your piano
is considerably more than I
have pay for others, it has
greater merits, and I consider-
ed best none too good
for Conservatory.
I take pleasure in saying
that after we have secured the
pianos ordered all of our
rooms, both for
and students, will be supplied

Nothing would please the Demo-
of Pitt county better than for
the Republicans,
pendents to all get together and
bring out an opposition ticket. It
will tend to solidify the true Demo-
and bring out a full party
vote. It will also show just where
some men are and keep the party
being bothered with them in
future.
The Republicans, too. are anxious
to do something in the interest of
the dear people, and have issued a
call for a county convention on the
first of October. they in
conjunction with the Populist and
the own candidate self
appointed to right his great wrongs,
can bring out enough of the stay-at-
home Democrats to show them how
big a majority Pitt can bury the
whole push under.

Wake Forest Sept, An
awful tragedy took place miles
west of here to-day. A white man
named Geo. Tilley, Jiving two miles
up the river from Falls, shot
his wife and mother with a
shot gun. Mrs Tilley was in the
bed with her two old baby
when her picked up the
gun and indicated that he was go-
to fire. Thinking that Tilley
was going to shoot the baby the
mother threw herself over it, and
the load grazed her shoulder.
Tilley then opened fire upon his
mother-in-law, Mrs Joe Lowery.
The load took effect in Mrs
Lottery's right shoulder. She ran
into the yard and cried for help, then
she entered the house turning,
Tilley shot her again in the back of
the head, thus rendering her
conscious. Mrs. Lottery's condition
is serious, and it is thought that she
will die. The shock may also result
in the death of Mrs. Tilley. The
only cause that can be attributed
for the rash act is that he became
angry with his wife because
her picture off to enlarged and
did not send his. He has been gruff
and has had little to say for the past
month. He left immediately after
the shooting and had not been cap

AN EXCITED ANGLER.
